CW: Clever idea, AI slop, Legal Commentary
On the same day as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the Helluva Boss NSFW short “Barbie’s Bad Day” was released. Then the FBI and DOJ pivoted to indicting Comey for an Instagram post because, according to Trump, mob folk in the movies once used "86" as code for murder. The bare-bones indictment certainly didn't disclose that Comey deleted the post, said he had no idea a 1930s diner code still in daily use today had violent implications, or “apologized” (citation required!) — claimed facts Kash Patel went ahead and described at his press conference, apparently violating grand jury secrecy in the process.
So while AG Blanche tries to dig himself out of the hole of vindictive prosecution and to wrestle with the “true threat” standard of Elonis v. US (2015); US v. White, (4th Cir. 2016); and Counterman v. Colorado (2023), let’s look at the following AI slop.
• Quotes are from “Barbie’s Bad Day” and "Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)"
• I know the difference between Barbie Wire and some generic Verosika/Imp/Hot Topic girl — this is AI slop, not the work of a talented artist
• Obsessive fans will know the actual Asmodeus quote is “Mammon can eat my ass. In a bad way.” but the “but” is necessary to capture the duality of meaning to the average person on the street.
• And duality of meaning is just one of the many, many reasons this Comey indictment needs to be mocked rather than being respected as administration of justice.

First Thing: Trump says US navy will ‘guide’ trapped ships through strait of Hormuz https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/04/first-thing-trump-says-us-navy-will-guide-trapped-ships-through-strait-of-hormuz #UsisraelWarOnIran #JamesComey #DebtRelief #UsNews #WorldNews

It's wrong, for two reasons, to say #JamesComey's #8647 sea shell arrangement wasn't a crime because "86 doesn't mean to kill someone."
In fact, to "86" is a pop-culture term for killing, though not the primary meaning of "86".
But even if that's what Comey meant, saying you want somebody to kill the president is protected speech, not a crime, unless it's a true threat, which this obviously wasn't. That's the important thing here.

"The Comey indictment sends a message. No matter how implausible the case, no matter how many times a case fails, the Trump regime will continue to use the United States government to pursue the people Donald has decided are his enemies.
Comey is just one of those people."

"Blanche, for all of his faults, understands that the DOJ is not going to be able to prove anything close to this, and his lack of confidence is barely concealed in his public remarks."

"and that Comey also intended to convey he was personally preparing to injure or kill Trump or recklessly whipping his audience into a froth where the mere reading of '8647' would send them racing to kill the president."

"There’s no world where '86' is inherently a violent demand that someone be killed. ...
The DOJ would essentially have to show that by taking a picture of someone else’s beach musings, Comey intended both that Trump would understand this as an imminent threat and fear for his life," (continued in /2)

"The timing—three days after the WHCD shooting, with Kimmel simultaneously under FCC fire—is not accidental. The administration is pressing on every front at once."

"The retribution campaign at the heart of President Trump’s second term is escalating, not easing, as gas prices climb, the Iran war grinds past 60 days & his approval rating sinks to record lows.
Much of the activity has come in the 26 days since acting Attorney General Todd Blanche assumed leadership of the Justice Department following the ouster of Pam Bondi.

"I think the big story in DC now is the escalating weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, the FCC and other agencies against Trump’s perceived foes. As he rages his cowardly quislings are starting to do ever more dangerous, illiberal and outrageous things."
